Chapter 15 “Calm Anger"

Toya came from his crouched position standing to his full height. His true form now shuttered with anger. Through the eyes of the snake demon, he had confirmed his suspicions. Memories flooded him with the sight of his rival from the past.

"So, Kotaro is near her as always." Toya's eyes shimmered with the color of blood before calm once again over took him.

He stared down into the city. "Just who else has come to keep you from me, my Kyoko?" His voice was smooth, belying the emotions that rattled his body. Somewhere within… Toya knew he wasn't free to think for himself. He could only catch whispers of his true thoughts here and there. The true him seemed to be drowning in the sea of evil that his soul had become host to.

To calm his raging anger, an image slashed its way through his mind. He caught a picture of himself, reaching out and tucking a stray, auburn lock of Kyoko’s hair behind her ear, his fingers lingering against her creamy cheek fo

    Chapter 16 "Red Haze" Toya closed his crimson eyes to the image of Kyou kissing his Kyoko, only to see more pictures of Kyou kissing her in the past. He leaned against the brick wall, watching the streets around him through the sight of his demons, watching for signs of Kyoko. He could feel her close but couldn’t find her. If she were to sleep, there would be a link he could use… the bond between true life-mates. The demons inside were quiet for a moment, giving him control of his own thoughts. Toya's eyes glowed golden for only a moment as he remembered the true love between him and Kyoko. He could only hope it was stronger than the evil he had become. His thoughts turned to the kiss Kyou had given her and he wanted to erase it with one of his own. Stretching out his senses he called to his mate, feeling her sleep. "Kyoko… come to me." Miles away, Kyoko tossed in her sleep as dreams began to overtake her, only to find herself within the city she had been staring at from t

    Chapter 17 "Haunted" Kyoko glanced up when Kyou laid the phone on the nightstand and turned without saying a word, walking into the next room. Now that her momentary embarrassment was gone, she looked around the room wondering what the phone call had been about. Sliding from the bed, she hurried to get dressed, intending to go ask Kyou exactly what was wrong. She could tell the phone call wasn't a good one even if his expression hadn't changed. His aura had turned a couple shades darker. More like dangerously dark, and she wanted to know why. The one thing that worried her was the fact that he was trying to hide it from her. Kyou lifted the lid and reached into the display case housing both his swords and the twin daggers. His smooth fingertips skimmed over the cold surface of the daggers blades wondering at the power that seemed to crackle around them. With a narrowing of his eyes, he found himself reaching across them and taking his own powerful sword and sliding it into the s

    Chapter 18 "Dark Love" Toya smirked as he felt everyone’s nervousness. "No fucking claim!" His voice grew darker and louder, "You think I have no fucking claim to my own mate!" He felt his anger rise even more knowing Kyou once again wanted her for himself. His angry shout echoed in the street than the sensations started to build in the back of his neck. He could feel her. Kyoko. His blood heated knowing she was within range of his senses now. The evil within him also felt the presence of the guardian heart crystal. He could feel her and he knew the others couldn't sense her over the evil he was so used to. An unseen smile tilted his lips then quickly disappeared as Toya's face lost all expression. He opened his arms, sending a mass of demons straight at Kyou. He would make sure they were detained while he went to see his so called mate… his deceiving mate. His expression turned wicked as the demons exploded from him, swarming Kyou and the others and hiding him from view complet

    Chapter 19 "Twisted Hope" Kyou flew through the night with the speed he’d gained from the bonding with Kyoko. He knew anything could be happening to her even in a short amount of time. "Kyoko, please be safe," He silently begged to the wind as he felt himself drawing closer to the one he was destined to protect. Kyoko awakened in a panic and struggled to stand, frantically searching for Toya but he was gone. Feeling the pain in her chest, she looked down at the blood trailing from the wound. The crimson color ran all the way down her leg in memory of Toya's betrayal. She looked back up among the trees, feeling like her world was tilting from everything that’d happen. "No, he didn't want to do this. I could tell he didn't," her voice was stern as if she was trying to convince someone that what she was saying was true. "I have to find him and make sure he’s all right." Her bottom lip began to tremble with a weak smile as the full force of what just happened dawned on her. "He's al

    Chapter 20 “Combined Forces”   Kyou let the water from the shower flow over his face and down his body. His forehead was pressed against the cool tile in front of him while his long silver hair had streams of the steamy water rolling down his silky mane. He sighed as he pressed his palms against the wall and stepped back. He refused to allow himself to sleep because he didn't know if he could handle a second dream of making love to Kyoko. The need to claim her again was too real even for someone whose restraint was as strong as his. He knew Toya was out there somewhere and for the second time Kyou was confused. Last night was pure torture for him, sleeping so close to Kyoko but still unable to go to her, especially after the heated dream that had left his body aching for her. Only he knew that they were already mates… but last night hadn’t been safe. Her mind and body had been through enough within such a short amount of time… tampering with it more would have been dangerou

  • Raging Hearts   Chapter 21 _Never Underestimate_

    Chapter 21 "Never Underestimate" Toya felt as if his heart was breaking as he came through the haze of evil. They all thought he controlled the demons within but it wasn't the truth. He was the one being controlled. He could remember Shinbe's smiling face, his deep love for Suki, and his friendship for him and Kyoko both. The truth was that Shinbe had often been the strength within the small group of guardians, holding them together and making them laugh at the same time. The only time he’d ever seen Shinbe angry was when someone within the group was in danger or hurt. Shinbe had even saved his life many times. Toya's chest hurt as he choked on the question. "Tell me… Tell me Shinbe isn't dead!" His fist clenched as he waited for the answer. Kyou stood at his full height, momentarily proud of Toya for gaining back control. "Death claimed him, brother, but I revived him with my life-force." Toya looked at the ground. "I killed him?" He glanced at his own hands in bewilderme

    Chapter 22 "Approaching Darkness" Silence met her request. Kamui's expression turned to one of fear as he looked into Kyoko’s eyes. He opened his mouth to voice his thoughts on the subject but Shinbe's hand covered his lips… preventing him from voicing the truth… a truth that Kyoko was not prepared to hear. Shinbe knew that Kamui would begin to ramble because of his honest heart but also understood that Kyoko was not in any condition to hear what had transpired recently. Kamui craned his neck to look into Shinbe's pleading eyes only to grunt and jerk his face away from the restraining hand. His eyes were downcast as he moved away from them, turning his back so Kyoko wouldn’t see his misery. He wanted to give Kyoko the answer that she so desperately wanted to hear but he was outnumbered. It was wrong to lie to the priestess no matter the reason. To Shinbe's surprise Kamui didn't say anything more. He had seen the torment in the guardian’s expression as he released him and his

    Chapter 23 "Reclaiming" Shinbe stood behind the bar lost in thought about Toya. They’d once been best friends. He couldn’t remember how many times they’d saved each other in the past. They would have died for each other, but now… He missed the Toya he remembered… his brother. His shoulders slumped as his thoughts turned deeper within his soul. Toya had killed him without a second glance and if it hadn't been for Kyou reviving him, no. It was not Toya’s hand that had taken his life but the hand of demons. Shinbe closed his eyes trying to steady his thoughts. The club was still empty seeing as how they hadn't even opened the doors. He was so distracted by everything that’d happened within the last couple days, he couldn't even think straight. Kotaro leaned his back against the bar looking up at the steps that led to Kyoko when the sound of a glass shattering behind him nearly made him jump out of his skin. Turning quickly, he watched as Shinbe cocked an eyebrow at his hand as i
